Wrangler 13MWZ for the win... Mexican co-workers turned me on to them and I have never looked back. Heavy duty, well made, and a good value. Keep in mind they are cowboy cut, 14.5 oz., with no stretch.
I just bought one of these... from Amazon. Now I'm wondering if I got the real thing or some cheap knockoff created specifically for Amazon. I paid only $30 for my jeans!
Gap's soft jeans have been my go to for the past couple years. I could sleep in them they're so comfortable and are more durable than Levi which I wore for many years before.
